Thank you to all who visited, supported our school, and assisted this week at the Book Fair and Thanksgiving Feast.

Remember that there is no school this week, Monday, Nov. 20th – Friday, Nov. 24th. We look forward to seeing all students on time on Monday, Nov. 27th!

Denison’s School Performance Framework rating summary went home in Friday Folders. Please contact the office if you have any questions after viewing it.

For your child’s safety, please only drop your child off on the Denison side of the street.

Some Music classes are making didgeridoo instruments and are accepting donations of long cardboard tubes from wrapping paper rolls for this project. If you have long wrapping paper tubes (not paper towel tubes or toilet tissue tubes) that you can donate, please bring them to the school office, attention: Mr. Tim. Thank you!

Remember that our attendance goal is 95% for the school year. Check out our slideshow in the main lobby with each class’s weekly attendance rate. Help us get to 95% for all classes!

Denison has two upcoming Winter Music Concerts for students in Kindergarten and Lower El. Each concert will be at 6:00 P.M., with students reporting to their classrooms at 5:45.

The Collaborative School Committee, or CSC, will be meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 28th from 5:30-7:30.

Save the date! On Friday, Dec. 8th, we will host a second Dialogic Reading Workshop for families, sponsored by PAC. We hope to have presentations in Spanish, English, and Vietnamese, depending on registration. This workshop will give you strategies in reading aloud in a fun way that develops oral language and vocabulary. Please RSVP with the form in Friday Folders or through our website under “Events.”

Remember that Believe fundraiser forms will be due back to the school on Monday, Nov. 27th.

Thank you for your support, have a wonderful and relaxing week with your families, keep up your child’s daily reading routine, and talk about gratitude with your child. We look forward to seeing all students on Monday, Nov. 27th!
